Patricia, yes you can have it both ways. Clinton was not interested in balancing the budget, in earnest, until he was repudiated in the '94 elections. Then, all of the sudden, he took credit for fiscal restraint foisted upon him by Congress. You can deny the true facts all you want, but I would think at some point you would be able to sleep better at night admitting the truth. Perhaps you do when you look in the mirror. ~SB~

<< During the economic upturn of the 90's the Republicans said that it was the economic policies of Reagan and Bush that were finally kicking in and affecting the country positively and it really had nothing to do with CLinton...............................now that it turned ugly you blame CLinton.............................you can't have it both ways!!!LOL >> Both ways? It's the same way, EXACTLY. The economy turns slowly. Expansion follows policies that were made years before the expansion begins. Recessions follow those expansions and recessions are not ended with policies made in a one or two year period. There is no question that the biggest economic expansion/bubble will be followed by one of the biggest economic/market busts. There is little to nothing that can be done to prevent that in the short run. This is obvious. Dave
